Education in Afghanistan

Originally uploaded by Sangary.

The one that dont understand is george Bush here.

School in Paghman district in Kabul, Afghanistan. Summer 2003. The students are studying on the floor of their destroyed classrooms. They complain from too much dust in their class, when you look at their books you can see the dust over their books and bags. One of the student (12) said: “Yes we understand, we have dusty classrooms and everything else is destroyed. But we dont want these small things to prevent us from education. I want to be come a doctor in the future to help my people and around the world.”

MaybeSocialJustice?

Originally uploaded by dave_go.

Well you see… i dont really understand why scientists keep prioritizing inventions that make life more convenient for the people when what they REALLY should be focusing on is the preservation of life.

I’m no biologist, but that tree looks pretty messed up. I dont think trees are supposed to have acne. What could be the cause of it? Is it water? Does that stuff eventually go into our tap water? Are we drinking that stuff? Is anyone gonna fix this tree?

This is kinda like how people are spenin money on things that make life more convenient for themselves, when they should really be focusing on helping the people that need help the most. Why buy 15 organic apples for $8 when it can buy you 25 fruit trees for farmers in Honduras to grow and sell fruit at their local market ?

“i dont want you to go”

Originally uploaded by aperitive.

“you know i love you?”

“yes, but if you love me why are you leaving?”

“if only i had an answer for you i’d be able to tell you”

“did i do something wrong?”

“you’ve never done anything wrong, ever”

“then why are you leaving me? i don’t understand.
why can’t you take me with you? i promise i’ll be good.”

[silence... a single, searing tear burning its way down his cheek]

“i love you, baby… you dont and wont understand for awhile. but i will never stop being your father, i will never stop loving you. but i cant stay here. i love you, always try to remember that…”

“if you leave i’ll hate you”

“i dont believe you”

“i lied”

“i know…”

The Wedding Singer

Originally uploaded by soma36.

He also helped make our wedding, enabled us to get away from the horrible cliched music that would normal be played at a Japanese reception because they dont understand the words. He told me he was pretty pumped to be a wedding with other foreigners who appreciated his music. I guess this is instead of being the random and sole foreigner doing “black” music (japanese music stores actually often arrange music by “black”) for lots of old (and young)people who know its cool, but dont know why.

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

Originally uploaded by dottilicious2.

Everyone speaks french which we dont’ understand a word of – although it did sound deliciously sexy! :) On the other hand, I’m less than pleased with their efficiency. We wait for a long time at one belt, before we were told to move to another one. Here I am, quite worried that my backpack is lost somewhere between Prague and Paris. Yibin make a rather racist joke about why it was taking so long *laugh* Super duper funny :)
